What did you do to your Ram today???

Here is the hardwire kit that I got which is required for the cam to record while truck is off. I will warn you though that it comes with two fuse taps that will not work. The included fuse taps are for MINI fuses and our trucks run Micro2 and Micro3 fuses. I've included another link below that should work

Rexing Smart Hardwire Kit

Micro2 Fuse Tap

I worded that last night. Thanks for the fuse tap heads up. I’m gonna pm you.
 
Just ordered BDS 6” lift along with fuel rebel 20x10 along with cooper at3 xlt 35x12.5 tires. About six weeks out. Can’t wait. I’ll post some picks when it’s done. This is her now

Selling those rims and tires if anybody is interested
 
I'm glad someone said this.
I’m at 29.1 mpg average (pen and paper) with my michelin defender ltx tires on my 22’s and a tuner almost maxed on power level. Getting 30 is doable. Now, the more city driving is sprinkled in (I’m mostly steady, non-city traffic), the lower the mpg. That’s the same for the hemi though.
 
Well the gurgle sound I have been talking about over the last week has started to become more frequent as I slow down into a coast.
Here is a new video from today where you can sorta hear it

I listen to the video once. Sounds like exhaust leak. Idk if you have e tq. But my truck down shifts charge thing when it gets to 30mph stopping. I could see an exhaust leak picking up some noise.

Thats awesome!
I love the 23-24 mpg out of my v6 but I think my next Ram will be the Ecodiesel.

My neighbor has a 19 Ram Bighorn Night Edition with the Hemi, he's getting 14.2.....OUCH!

My 20 Ram Bighorn Night Edition with a Hemi gets 15..... but I have a Banks PedalMonster installed. (lvl 2 in Sport) So the truck feels and reacts the way it should)
Removing it and driving stock I could get 17+ or more if I drive like a grandma.

But back on topic, I got a new rear window after 18 months of ownership for the dreaded frame cracks. But mine where not in the usual spot, it was at the top corners...

Also, 30mpg for a diesel seems optimistic.
I can get that...if I hyper-mile. But that takes work, and clogs up most highways. Oh, and driving at mid-60s (soft speed, to take advantage of downhills and let momentum carry you uphill) means taking longer to get there.

The positives? Well, the mileage, and all my new friends who toot their horns in support of what I'm doing and hold up that finger letting me know they think I'm number 1. ;)
 
Swapped out the lower grille and installed a 22” light bar in the front bumper of my ‘19 1500 Laramie Sport.

This preexisting bolt behind the washer fluid reservoir makes for a perfect relay mounting location.

For 12v power to the switch, I used a fuse tap on fuse F35 (Mod Inverter / Mtr Sunshade Sunroof / Mtr Dual Sunroof) in the interior power distribution box. I had already used a fuse tap on F66 (Run - Accessory Feed) for my radar detector, but F35 is also ignition switched.

Highs, lows, fogs (thanks AlfaOBD), light bar

The finished look is very clean and discreet, which is exactly what I was looking for. The light bar and wiring harness is actually recycled from my previous RAM ('13 1500). I had the light bar mounted to a Ranch Hand grill guard for over 5 years with zero issues.
